Load sensing trailer valve

[Farmer mk1]

Hi folks,

Got a bailey 14t silage trailer on air and then stood it leaks air out the valve what does the load sensing from the bottom where it dumps air. Anyone ever had problems with these valves and took them to bits and put them back after cleaning?
I was going to take the rod off the valve which does the axle pressure and see if it leaks still then if it does I'd know if it was just a setup problem but if I take all pressure off this bar then it still leaks out the bottom valve.
Need to stop it as it is always draining the tractor tank.
Thanks
Mark

Put it in the bin & buy a new one they are not worth taking apart

How much are the new ones? It can't be that much of a job to do can it?

No matter what you do you won’t keep it clean enough and it’ll still leak. Bin it and fit a new one.

X1 for Haldex and Wabco .
Standard fare on trucks and trailers available at any truck factor take valve off and take it with you to factor and they will match you a decent one.
